TrackIR crashing with Microsoft Flight Sim 2020

Post by Rich_M »

Hi,

I am experiencing Track IR crashing with no warning messages whenever I load Microsoft Flight Sim 2020. I run TrackIR as Administrator first but crashes as MSFS2020 starts up. There are no warning messages. Anyone experiening the same thing? Any fixes?

System: Intel i7-4790 3.6ghz; 16gb RAM; GeForce GTX1650; 4gb VRAM.

Thanks
Rich

Hello Rich,

In the "Advanced Options" of the TrackIr software there is a setting that is enabled by default that minimizes the TrackIr sofware client when a TrackIr supported game is launched.

It's not the one with the blue arrow. My apologies. This was the best image of the settings that I found that was already hosted.

You'll want to disable "Automatically Minimize On TrackIR Enhanced Title Launch"

Thank you for sharing the information. As skrapshak noted, it seems like the TrackIR is getting minimized into the icon tray.
This is the default behavior which was designed to minimize the processing resources that TrackIR takes up.
This can be disabled under the settings if needed.
